MOMENT TO MOMENT

Acting Company and School

PRESENTS

22 - 26 August 2015

This intensive week will take you from the basics of simple repetition all the way through to text analysis & script work.

Learn to live in the moment as an actor. Learn what it means to really “do” and to respond truthfully to a given moment based on what you get from your partner. Through improvisation, emotional truth and personal response you will learn to resonate authenticity within a given circumstance. Only in this way will you begin to understand the definition of real acting, which is “to live truthfully under the imaginary circumstances”.

Three sets of exercise

Living Truthfully (repetition exercises)

Given Circumstances (activities, emotional preparation)

Text: (cold reading and monologue)

The new-build Cultural and Conference Centre of Heraklion is located at Plastira Avenue (Leoforos Plastira) at the intersection of Plastira Avenue with Romanou street, close to Nikos Kazantzakis grave.

It is a well known building near the centre of Heraklion and every taxi driver is familiar with the location.

Restaurant: Plenty of choices with local taverns and restaurants in walking distance . In case you did not know, the Greek way of restaurant eating is different than in continental Europe (where each guest orders one plate for himself). In Greece the custom is to take a number of small plates (sometimes translated to ‘apetizers’). If you are alone 2-3 small plates are enough, if you are two, 3-4 are enough. They serve the food quickly so you can always order more later if you like anything else. Don't forget to try some raki/tsikoudia (Cretan traditional spirit).

Bakery and supermarket: The closest bakery is at about 5 minutes walk. The same with the Super Market (Χαλκιαδάκης) located at Kalokerinou Street. From the Cultural Centre head downwards the Plastira Avenue (heading to the sea) and at the end of it you will find Kalokerinou Str. on your right hand. If you continue straight towards the sea front and more to the west you will find Lidl and a Carrefour (open weekdays and Saturday).

Late night: At night and on Sunday a lot of shops are closed. But there are countless Periptero in Heraklion. Periptero are small shops selling newspapers, ice-cream, food, tobacco, whiskey, bus tickets, etc. Most sell also packs of milk, yogurt, fruit juices and some basic breakfast (croissants). Some are open until late.

Taxi: The easiest transport is taxi. To get to the Cultural and Conferance Centre of Heraklion just tell the driver that you are heading to Polytistiko Kentro located at the intersection of Plastira Avenue with Romanou street. Taxis are cheap in Greece and there are many. Taxi from Heraklion center to the nearest beach (Amoudara) costs about 7 euro. Taxi from airport to Polytistiko Kentro costs about 10 euro. You can also call a taxi: Candia taxi: 2810 361 362, 2810 361 363, Heraklion Radio Taxi 2810 210102, 2810 210146.

Bus: From the airport the bus stop is a couple of minutes walk from the terminal building Heraklion Airport. It is the most economical bus transportation from / to the airport. Local shuttle buses leave from the airport every few minutes from early morning until late in the evening from Monday to Saturday and less frequently on Sundays. City bus number 78 goes to the bus station in Heraklion / Iraklion. Journey time to central heraklion is around 20 minutes. Local Bus Phone Number: (0030) 2810 245020.

To get to the Centre you could take any bus from the airport which goes to the city center (tickets are about 1,50). Important is to ask for the Polytistiko Kentro and let them advise you.

Scooter-rental: It is easy to rent a scooter on Crete – you should be able to get one for about 5 euros per day, depending on how long you rent it.

Car-rental: It is very easy to rent a car on Crete – you should be able to get one for about 20-30 euros per day.

Walk: Heraklion is small enough to walk around. There is a nice wooden walking path which gets you to the beach (20 minute walk). If you follow the beach west, you will find the beach resorts of Amoudara. During August you will find bars and restaurants and shops. Most of these things are just off the beach around the main road that runs parallel to the beach.

Jump in the sea. If you want to see underwater life while cooling off, then take a mask and swim out a bit until you reach the sea-barrier – it has plenty of fish and octopus.

There is an ATM at about 5 minutes walk at Kalokerinou Str. Head downwards the Plastira Av and at the end of it go up the Kalokerinou street. The ATM is on your right hand (National Bank of Greece, NBG) almost opposite from the supermarket Chalkiadakis (Χαλκιαδάκης).

If that ATM does not work, continue upwards the Kalokerinou Str. to the center and you will find more ATM's.

Note that in Greece you often need cash – cards are rarely accepted by shops or restaurants.

Suppose your flipflops break or you want to buy a shirt: Talos is a shopping mall close to the Cultural Center. Just walk 15 minutes downwards (face the sea go left). Inside Talos you find other banks, a cinema, a souvlaki place called Yasouvlaki, coffee places like Starbucks, and fast-food places like Goodies and Yankee burgers.

The other option for shopping is to at the city centre (ask for Lions' Square / Plateia Liontarion), walk upwards Kalokerinou Str. and you will find it on your left hand.
